Objective

Are you an applicable large employer under the Affordable Care Act that must offer health insurance to your employees? Which employees must be offered coverage and by what type of insurance? What penalties might you face if you do not fully comply and how are they calculated? What notices must you provide to the federal government and when? If you’re not an applicable large employer but still provide insurance, how can you make sure you’re in compliance with new insurance reforms for all employers? This half-day class will give you the tools to determine your obligations under and compliance with the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. An overview of the law and its history will be provided, as well as examples of calculations for full time, part time, and variable hour employees. The class will outline how to set up a measurement period and stability period, and examine the potential fines for multiple scenarios.
